By | Webinars

Beyond Your Balance Sheet

Thursday, April 11th
1:00 pm ET | 12:00 pm CT | 10:00 am PT

The deadline for compliance with ASC Topic 842, the new lease accounting standard, is fast approaching. Hospital systems, biotech companies, medical equipment manufacturers, and other providers have large amounts of leased real estate and medical equipment, like CT scanners and MRI machines. Under the new rules, healthcare companies must recognize most leases (capital and operating) on their balance sheets. Armanino’s audit and lease accounting specialists will explain the changes and lay out the steps you should take to prepare for them.

Learning Objectives:

  • Analyze key differences of the new lease accounting standards and discuss interplay with new revenue recognition standard
  • Review examples of how the new standards will be accounted for by lessees and lessors, including lease classification
  • Develop actionable steps your organization should be taking in preparation for the upcoming compliance deadlines, including staging of data

Lease Accounting Implementation Lessons from the Front Lines

Complying with the new lease accounting standard is a major challenge for both public and private companies.  While many private companies remain focused on their revenue recognition efforts, they also need to get organized for lease implementation.  And now that most public companies are in their last stages of implementing the standard, their focus is shifting to leveraging process and technology to further automate their Day 2 requirements.

During this webinar, experts from Pine Hill Group, Global Tax Management, and LeaseAccelerator discussed overall readiness, implementation challenges, tax matters, technology considerations, and best practices.

Key topics included:

  • Practical advice on how to begin and effectively manage the transition to the new lease accounting standard
  • The implications of the new lease accounting standard on operations and reporting on lease activity, including both explicit and embedded leases
  • What potential impact the standard may have on deferred, state, and international taxes
  • Technology considerations for Day 1 and Day 2

By | Webinars

Are You Ready for the New Lease Accounting Standards?

Preparing for compliance under the new leasing accounting standards — ASC 842, GASB 87, and IFRS 16 — potentially poses a major undertaking for hospitals and health systems. Implementing these new leasing standards will likely be the biggest project that controllers and financial accounting teams will tackle in 2019.

During this webinar, lease accounting experts from RGP Healthcare and LeaseAccelerator discuss how healthcare entities can avoid first timer implementation mistakes (lessons learned from public companies) and share the critical milestones for ensuring successful adoption of the new lease accounting standards.

You will learn:

  • What is the impact of the new lease accounting rules?
  • What key decisions/data are required to start your implementation?
  • What common implementation pitfalls can be avoided?
  • How do you budget, plan and staff to achieve Day 1 compliance by the upcoming deadline?
  • What considerations need to be made for ensuring Day 2 and beyond compliance?
